Problem:

There are times when you develope a COBOL program and a user defined data-name conflicts with a reserve word.  

Resolution:

To remove word(s) from the reserved word list you can specify the REMOVE directive.

The syntax:

  >>-.---.--REMOVE---"rsv-word"---------------><

    -/-

rsv-word = A reserved word.

By default no reserved words are removed.

Phase: Syntax check

$SET: Initial

Note:

This directive does not appear in the list created with the SETTING directive.
